In the absurd post-truth future we find ourselves in a situation where wrong think just means anything right of what Hasan Piker thinks on a given day.

because once you attempt to start to apply any label it becomes more and more vague. If I am a black man from South Africa who hates white people for perpetuating the Apartheid, am I welcome or am I a racist? If I am a man who's own father transitioned to being a woman and I no longer feel comfortable around trans-people because I lost my 'father figure', am I a transphobe or am I welcome? I understand these are deliberately obtuse examples. I bring them up because I never know where on the spectrum the line is drawn for these labels yet people will gladly declare somebody a 'nazi' because their dad watches Fox News. Even asking the question "when does somebody on the right go far enough to be considered a fascist?" often is met with the retort "defending nazis makes you a nazi".

I'd be curious to know your answers to these because they seem rather obvious to me..

Just because some people calling someone a nazi are wrong doesn't mean everyone calling someone a nazi is wrong.


We both know what the 'answer' is because we are normal people who understand nuance - a skill many people have lost as they have come to have their ideals defined by their identity, not the other way around.

> Just because some people calling someone a nazi are wrong doesn't mean everyone calling someone a nazi is wrong.

Sometimes they aren't just wrong, they are the loudest.


From this reply your answer could still be read either ways and that someone is still a nazi regardless of how loud someone is.

Those of the conservative persuasion love to use the loudness of some people to invalidate all condemnations of nazis, right or wrong.


Those of the sane persuasion are sick of the loud taking all the space and being celebrated on the left. I think conservatives are crazy but the left are crazier and they invent new types of madness almost by the hour. I'd rather have the stability of the nut jobs in the Vatican than MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA, defund the police, abolish the supreme court, abolish private property, etc, etc.

You're a Nazi

True enough, but the likelihood that the person calling another person a Nazi is correct about the other person is so low that it’s much more likely they’re wrong rather than right. (This is true just statistically speaking.)

Absolutes are not usually very compelling nor very interesting, just as high improbabilities are usually neither compelling nor interesting.


Did anybody watch the Primeagen's video on Google bag-fumbling? Interesting they released on the same day!

I'm curious to know how do people in FAANG / Bay Area tech industry see influencers like Primeagen, Theo or Casey Muratori.

Do they have a good read on the industry or completely out of touch? Or to put it simply, are they spouting bullshit?

My concern is that some of them arent in the industry or have never been in it.


Theo has been "it's so over pilled" his videos are hard to watch.

well, its because gemini is sucks at coding

The sentiment goes both ways?


Have you found a write up you’d recommend on how the threat actors actually exploited the vulnerabilities?


Hopefully people are being a little circumspect right now with explotation instructions because there are still vulnerable coins out there (particularly from mk4+ wallets, as well ones with passwords that are not strong enough) which have not been taken or rescued yet and may still be rescued by owners.


I think what is the author is getting at is that if you are cavalier in your commit messages when the stakes are low, chances are you aren’t taking writing code that handles money seriously. Made me think of some merges I could have taken more seriously.

SalC1 made a great video about how this was accomplished: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDyze1YlOrI


It was made on 2b2t, the seed is well known: -4172144997902289642. FitMC makes a video where he shows what the original spawn looked like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksS00MCQPog


2b2t has used multiple seeds over its lifetime and has long since used custom (and not released) modifications to the terrain generator. I.e. this doesn't work all too well beyond spawn.


I used Franz and then went it went freemium I used ferdi for a while. I like using Zen browser and it’s based on Firefox


Good old times, same for me. Just ended up not bothering and deactivating any additional services - digital detox time \ ( ° o ° ) /
